I want to create a filter for all email sent by me only to me.
I do that because when I have a note that I want to remember, I send it to myself. I want to label all those notes so I can find them easily.

To search for email sent only to you and not to a mailing list, for example, you have to add the following to the search box (and then you can create a filter using that search; there is a link in the expanded search box that says "Create filter >>" or something):
This means it'll search for email sent to "me" (that's you) and not to everybody else (including you) (that's
*), but the first part (i.e.,To:me) overrides that.
